KatharineS A great, smaller hostel with a very friendly vibe. The fact that it can only accommodate a smaller number of guests allows you to really get to know people. A slight problem in that there are only two bathrooms - so if they're both taken and you're desperate for the loo you don't really have any other options. There aren't lockers in the rooms, but they are available.

aso A chilled hostel with very friendly and helpful staffs. Vera was great before and after we arrive Budapest providing us with answers to our queries. Centrally located hostel, we stayed in an apartment with a large bedroom shared bathroom at a very affordable price. I would definitely stay at Pal's again if I revisit Budapest based on price, location & welcoming helpful staffs!

sophied1 This is a really lovely place to stay. The hostel is at the top of a great big old building near the river in Pest. Enormous rooms, which were very peaceful to return to at the end of the day. Would highly recommend it, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back. Budapest is also wonderful!

maymaloney I had seen this place online and was impressed; when I arrived I discovered just how truly amazing Home Made Hostel is. I stayed in a private double room, which turned out to be a truly fabulous self-contained apartment. All of the staff at Home Made are incredibly helpful and the rooms are spacious, unique and very clean. The location is very central and there are some fantastic restaurants around the corner (the staff at Home Made suggested them and they were delicious, cool and economical). I would recommend this over all other hotels or hostels in Budapest.

arianesheeren Before my stay, I read about the domesticity of Mandala Hostel and that's why I chose this place. Well, I wasn't dissapointed there, it realy feels at home. All I forgot was that it also means you kind of "live together" with people who have very different lifestyles. Some go to bed and get up early (like me :) ), some prefer some nightlife and stay in bed till noon :)... Don't get me wrong, I loved my stay there. I only was a bit embarrased to get up so early while everybody (yes, I really believe everybody) was still in bed .... So I tried to be very silent which was difficult because of the beautifull wooden floor that cracked. Then I made coffee, but felt a bit sorry that I couldn't make it for my co-stayers because I assumed they would be in bed for some more hours.... So finally I hurried outside to let them sleep ... Of course, you're on a holliday and not there for cocooning at the Mandala :) but the place is sooooooo domestic, cosy and relaxed that it makes you wonna !!!!! I felt really at ease, the interior is very pretty and clean, the accomodation very practical, people very friendly. So I definately would do it over again, but than knowing how very very pleasant my stay would be and still foresee some extra nights to include cocooning and socializing !!!!
